Anything can happen, but it seems likely that Firewalk's upcoming hero shooter Concord is essentially dead-on-arrival upon launch in late August. But with less than a month to go until release, what more can really be done? Making it free-to-play in the pre-release environment is an admittance of defeat and a sacrifice of what paying customers you managed to garner at all, while delaying it just... well... delays the inevitable (just ask Kill the Justice League). Does this game have a chance? Did Sony make a mistake by buying Firewalk at all? Why don't publishers pursue projects that fill a specific need, as opposed to copying what already exists? Other news this week includes details about Helldivers 2's Escalation of Freedom update, more tantalizing rumors concerning PS5 Pro, College Football 25's meteoric success, Ubisoft's fumbling Assassin's Creed Shadows statement, three fresh China Hero Project announcements, and more. Listener inquiries wrap things up, per usual, on topics like the best time of day to game, catching up on series you may have missed, forgetting games you've already played but don't remember, and the preposterousness of defrosting bread and there somehow being no water left behind.
